Purchased by my father probably in early 1950s. Top of box says "Goodman Skicraft, Inc. Manufactured and distributed from Missoula, Montana. P.O. Box 1382." End of box also mentions Sun Valley, Idaho and identifies bindings as "Jet Heel Release." Does anyone know anything about them? I have three sets of bindings, never used, still in boxes.

I've been trying to acquire one of those, Dick Jackson of Aspen Expeditions (see banner to left) said he could help. He used to import the bindings and has a number of different models.

In a picture I took in Morroco earlier this spring, is an older ski touring binding. It doesn't seem to be described in your binding museum. I got to play a little around with it, but unfortunately I didn't take a propper picture of it. It was still in use by a local guide or porter. It's all metal, seems very beefy. Heel is tabletop style, similar in fuction as older Look/Rossi tabletop bindings. Heel is also all metal. The action required to change from uphill to downhill mode, has some resemblences wiht the Sk'alp. Could it be an early version of this? Do you have an idea on what it is? Maybee some more details.

I used to have one 10 or so years ago but it got lost in a move from the east coast to CO and I can't remember which model it was that did that. Would love to replace it so, if anyone could help dial me in to which Geze i should be looking for I'd be very thankful! I hope everone is having a great winter so far!
